This is Douglas Primary School's concert party entertaining the old folks up at Maryfield Hospital around the 1970/71 period.
The picture would be difficult to do a proper "from left to right" identity name check, so I opted for a second image with numbers to make the ID easy.
I can name 3 for starters...
#2 is Grant Roberts with the guitar, who kept his musical side going, playing in local clubby bands in later years.
#26 is Ralph Milne, yep the same one as yesterday. Dundee United superstar and gambler!
#27 is Craig Methven, who ten years later would be fronting the Scrotum Poles.
And what cheery tune do you think the Douglas troupe chose to play for the pensioners to sing along to?
Well it was one of the chart hits from back then - McGuinness Flint's "When I'm Dead And Gone"...!!
Big thanks to Craig
Just found this out about Grant - he is a member of a band doing covers called Kinsley. Pics on their site:

DeleteTalking about marrying into Welsh. Debbie didn't have ginger/red hair did she?
ReplyDeleteThere were these girls we used to sometimes chat to in Chequers in the early 80's, one of which had long ginger hair. One Saturday evening a group of Welsh rugby supporters popped in having been to Edinburgh for the match. All pissed, good humoured and having a good laugh. One of them bumped into the girl with the ginger hair and he stopped and said "Oh I love redheads, will you marry me?" the way you do when you're mucking about drunk. Only she said "Yes!". And guess what, they did. They got married and lived in Wales.
She didn't have ginger hair

DeleteMy brother in law was head of music at Craigie Highh and ran the football team. Ralph Milne played for him, but all the boys had to attend choir practice to get a game. Eric said it was the roughest looking choir but the sweetest singing school team in Dundee at the time.
